Chapter 34
[It's not me who's wrong, it's the world.]
Seeing Theresis' cold, indifferent face, a storm of emotions surged through Yoren's mind.
It wasn't him. It wasn't the world.
It was this bastard in front of him.
The rage boiling inside him finally reached its breaking point, shattering all reason. Every misfortune, every disaster—none of it was due to incompetence or bad luck. No. It was all Theresis' fault.
If not for him, Yoren wouldn't have been separated from Vina on their return. The two companions from the Glasgow Gang wouldn't have died. Casey wouldn't have been too late to administer the inhibitor. And if not for Hessen's twisted scheme, he and Vina wouldn't have been infected with oripathy.
He would never have become an infected.
And now, the cause of all his suffering stood before him. Even the most patient man would have lost control. Yoren was never patient to begin with—he'd just been too overwhelmed to act.
There was no surrender. No backing down. No wasting time fighting off the endless wave of super soldiers.
Winning or losing didn't matter anymore. Honestly, he knew he was finished. The situation was beyond hopeless.
Might as well hold onto his dignity at this point.
